6. Know your Abbey

The three panels near the end of this email contain links to:

Left: Rule of Saint Benedict

Center: iBreviary -- use your phone or tablet to pray with the monks at home or at the abbey (FREE).

Right: Saint Gertrude

The two panels near the bottom:

Left: A view of the abbey from across Lake Jovita. The long white building to the left is Saint Charles Hall where the monks reside. It was completed and ready for occupancy in about 1959. The abbey's lake house is in the center at the edge of the lake. I do not know what the white building to the right was used for at the time of this picture.

Right: Looking across Father Damian's garden 2015

7. Are you missing?

1. Black and red insulated food bag left at picnic.

2. Brown runner. There is a brown runner left over from the Christmas party.

This is the one used by Saint Leo Abbey monks. There is a paid version by another publisher, but it is not always exactly the same as the one used at Saint Leo Abbey. So this FREE one is the one to get.

The only female saint called the Great. More info. Her amazing book of prayers is part of the reasons she is honored as one of eight sunrise saints in the Abbey church. Her light greets you along with that of Saint Walburg.
